SugarCRM 6 Debuts with Open Source and Commercial Features

"After four months of beta availability and testing,
SugarCRM today officially announced the general availability of its
Sugar 6 CRM customer relationship management platform. Sugar 6
includes an open source community edition as well as commercially
licensed professional and enterprise editions.

"With Sugar 6, SugarCRM is expanding its partnership base with
enhanced extensibility that enables partner solutions. There is a
new user interface that aims to make CRM users more productive with
fewer keystrokes. While the Sugar 6 solution has open source
technology at its core, users that download the open source
community edition will get a different interface than users of the
commercial professional and enterprise editions. For SugarCRM, the
issue of being an open source company is all about being open to
users.

""As an open source project, we've given people a lot, and
Community edition has helped us to get where we are today," Martin
Schneider, senior director of communications at SugarCRM, told
InternetNews.com."
